Institute Forums have two primary functions. Firstly, they are a chance for Class Reps to come together in a student-led space and discuss matters that are important to them. Secondly, your officers will use this forum to find out what is currently important to students and learners and how they feel about the academic experience at UoC.
The first Institute Forums were held in December 2024. If you'd like to read the minutes they are available below.
Institute of Business, Industry & Leadership.
Institute of Education, Arts & Society.
Institute of Science & Environment.
We also used this feedback as one of several inputs into a report summarising student feedback for semester 1. Your Academic Officer, Sima, discussed this with the University at the Student Experience Group and Student Success and Quality Enhancement Committee. Here's the report:
What Are Students Saying? December 2024
One outcome from this is the Students & Leaders Forums. Taking place in March 2025, Class Reps are invited to meet with senior leaders from UoC to discuss student feedback and ask questions on behalf of their cohorts.
